Mark Hammil says Romney is a Snake Oil Salesman Who Must be Defeated

Huffington Post:

"Star Wars" legend Mark Hamill is doubling down on his criticism of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

The actor who played Luke Skywalker tweeted Thursday that after watching the first presidential debate, he believes Romney hails from the dark side.

Hamill first began publicly commenting on the election in mid-July, when he joked at Comic-Con that "Mitt Romney is not actually human." Hamill told On the Red Carpet that, "If you don't vote for Barack Obama, you're insane. 'Cause without him, I think the middle class will completely disappear. And you look at Romney and I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I think he's like The Thing -- he only imitates human behavior. He's not actually human himself ... So God bless him, I'm enjoying him running for office but -- I just came out as a lifelong Democrat."

I personally see Romney selling palm oil. It's something he could pick up on his travels to the Cayman Islands.

God bless ya', Stuart G. The typo made my day.

well there's another kind of race my friends. The race for the best darn snack oil on the market today. So I hope you will try Romney brand snack oil. IF your enjoying your snack oil in the private or even a public venture, I promise at least 53 % of you will get your snack off on on the right foot.

As a snake himself, he has an unlimited supply of oil to sell. Romney. I'm beginning to feel, is the biggest filthy turd ever to run for office.
